Moving Day

Woo! Moving Day! I gots me a new apartment, what's up! I've been spending the whole day getting stuff from my last apartment to my new, bigger one, and in this I did a lot of driving back and forth. So today I thought I'd talk about driving, or rather the biggest things about it that annoy the hell out of me.

The number one thing that I hate most when I drive is when people tailgate me. You know, where they can't be bothered to wait twenty damned seconds longer to get to their destination, so they decide to ride 2 inches from my ass. It makes me nervous as hell, self-conscious, and ultimately it affects my driving. Hell, today I almost got into an accident because I was distracted by the self-righteous ass two inches behind me, and nearly failed to notice that the man in front of me had stopped.

I'm feeling tired from a long day of work, so I'm just going to stop at that pet peeve of driving, maybe more tomorrow... So what do you guys think about tailgating basterds? Any personal tips on dealing with the stress/how to deal with them in general?

Originality

I don't know why people I know seem to think I'm so original... In all honesty, a good 75% of the things I say are unoriginal. I remember reading a quote some time ago about the secret to being original was hiding one's source (I'm wanting to say that was a past president, but I'm not entirely sure, and I can't find it again). Anyways, I'm not really quite so sure where I'm trying to go with this... But my lack of originality makes me feel downright shitty. I mean, there's billions of human beings - dead and alive. The things I've felt, the things I've thought have surely been thought thousands millions, maybe even billions of times before.

[insert witty comment constructed of phrases i've previously heard here]

I just thought I'd rant a little today, seeing as how I don't have any ideas to blog about currently, and I didn't want to post someone else's greatness. So what are your thoughts on originality, etm.?

Texting

In the past year or so, I have really began to text a lot. Hell, my last bill said I had over 3000. Whenever I text though, I sort of think about it like this: a good text is always comprised of two parts - a response to the previous, and something else that I have to add to the conversation. I mean, people who just respond "lol" or "haha thats cool" I just won't talk to. In fact, I think being great texters is a vital part of a great relationship. Boredom is the demolishing jet flying into the two towers that we are; if you can't keep conversation going with her, you're likely to pick someone more interesting. Am I right?

This is one of the things I wonder about... Do other people think like this? So the comment question of the day is this: do you have a methodology to your texting? Or do you believe that texting just isn't important?
